Kevin Trapp - Heroic in draw Trapp had seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bochum.

Impact Trapp is one of the few unbeaten goalkeepers left in the Bundesliga though that came under fire Saturday as he was forced into seven saves on right shots faced. It speaks to the talent of Trapp that Saturday's clash was even remotely close. The goalkeeper will need more heroic performances to stay in the top half of the table with next to nothing to speak of in the new-look attack.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

William Pacho - Major role continues Willian Pacho registered one tackle (one won), five clearances and four interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bochum.

Impact Buta was busy on both sides of the ball during Saturday's draw, as he bombed forward for four crosses and had to do his duty defensively to keep it close.

Eric Ebimbe - Nets rare goal Eric Junior scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bochum.

The midfielder has taken a new role off the wing in 2023/24, shifting into attacking midfield to replace the departing Jesper Lindstrom. This new role gives Eric Junior a much more consistent job in the attack and more upside in general. The lackluster Frankfurt front line could mean that goal-scoring as a whole falls for the Eagles.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Simon Simoni - Set for elbow surgery Simoni will have surgery to repair rupturing ligaments in his elbow and will be out indefinitely, the club announced Monday.

Impact Simoni wasn't expected to feature for the senior team any time soon, so his injury won't significantly impact the club. Still, the youngster was likely the third-choice keeper for the club should something happen to either Kevin Trapp or Jens Grahl.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
